Raspberry Pi owners looking to use higher voltages with their mini PC, might be interested in this new opto-isolator board called the Opto-pi which has been specifically designed to be used with the ...

The accurate transmission of analog signals over long distances in noisy industrial environments is a difficult design problem. One of the oldest solutionsisolated current loopsis still one of the ...

Traditionally, isolated power supplies use an opto-coupler in the feedback loop to transfer regulation information across the isolation barrier. Unfortunately, an opto-coupler’s gain characteristic ...

Vishay has created a fast opto-coupler that can operate at 25Mbit/s. Called VOIH72A, is has a digital buffering on the input and output. “The component combines a maximum pulse distortion of only 6ns, ...

If you’re designing circuits and equipment that require electrical/electronic isolation, it may be time to consider electronic isolation via capacitance. Of the methods available, capacitive isolation ...

The latest trends in electric vehicle and industrial power systems demand higher voltage operation and greater efficiency, but also greater safety of power system devices, write Vikneswaran ...
